So pleased to see the return of the Almanack. I enjoyed the 3 versions of July You’re a Woman, especially Stewart’s. I saved the Mark Helprin piece as it touched me so strongly. Memory and devotion. Thank you for going against the norm of reels and doing the real work of writing.
I highly recommend Helprin in all forms. Masterful writer. My problem with reels is the happy, shiny part. I don't qualify. Astute readers will recognize another musical reference to the REM song of that name.
Always enjoy reading your stuff, David. ...always learn something: this time I learned the meaning of the word anodyne and the phrase Ad extremum verbum. Thanks!
Always happy to contribute to your education Paul. Beware, though, that sometimes I make up words. The idea is to gradually introduce these into common usage and create a new dialect.
